Chapter 1428 Lost Friendship
Compared to the indecisive and opportunistic palace guards, the Imperial Guards of the Governor General’s residence were much more disciplined. This was shown when they all responded in unison, “Yes, Sir.”
Their voices were loud and earth-shattering.
Alice couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of the unwavering loyalty they displayed. This was yet another difference between her and her godmother.
Even though the palace guards were under her command, they were easily swayed and went as far as to obey Lucian’s orders after listening to him speak!
Perhaps she should also show some courage and establish some rules lest she be stabbed in the back by one of these opportunists one day!
Hugh swept his gaze across the throne room. “The truth will be revealed soon enough! However, let’s not speculate recklessly until the matter is thoroughly investigated!”
Then, he turned his attention back to Eugene and Doctor Maxwell. “Mr. Nolan, Doctor Maxwell, please follow me!”
This time, no one dared to make things difficult for them, and they left the palace smoothly under the watchful gazes of the Imperial Guards under Doreen’s command.
Albert’s gaze followed them as they left, but his feet were frozen to the ground. He couldn’t even move a muscle. Frankly, he didn’t know how to face them after this debacle.
He was the one who invited them to Eurosia, but he misunderstood them again and again after falling prey to Lucian and Beatrix’s instigations.
Eugene and Doctor Maxwell were probably very disappointed, weren’t they?
No one knew how chaotic his mind was at that moment.
On one hand, he didn’t want to believe that Doctor Maxwell was the thief who stole the necklace five years ago. Yet, he couldn’t explain why she had the necklace if she wasn’t the thief in the video.
Eventually, he started to think that Lucian’s version made a lot of sense.
They lost the necklace five years ago, and Doctor Maxwell was the thief in the video. That was why she had the necklace in her possession.
It was just as Lucian had said earlier—even if the stolen necklace was fake, she still did the deed. That was why he hesitated when Eugene asked him that question.
It was during those few seconds of hesitation that he knew he had lost their friendship.
